Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, i bi nʼetiti ndị na-enupu isi, ndị nwere anya ịhụ ụzọ ma ha adịghị ahụ; ndị nwere ntị ịnụ ihe ma ha adịghị anụ ihe, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will consider, though they [are] a rebellious house.
“Ya mere, nwa nke mmadụ, kwakọtaa ngwongwo ụlọ gị maka ị ga biri nʼala ọzọ, mee nke a nʼehihie dịka ha na-ele gị anya, hapụ ụlọ gị gaa nʼebe ọzọ. Ma eleghị anya ha ga-aghọta, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
Kwapụta ngwongwo gị nʼezi nʼehihie ka ha hụ ya. Ma hapụ ụlọ gị nʼabalị dịka ndị na-agba ọsọ ndụ si eme, mgbe ha na-amalite ije ha, nke ịga ibi nʼala ọzọ.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Mgbe ha na-ele gị anya, gwupuo mgbidi, site na ya kwara ngwongwo gị pụọ.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee [for] a sign to the house of Israel.
Mgbe ha nọ na-ele gị anya, bulie ibu gị, tụkwasị ya nʼubu gị, pụọ gawa nʼime ọchịchịrị, kpuchie ihu gị, ka ị ghara ihu ala ahụ anya. Nʼihi na emela m gị ihe ịrịbama nye ụlọ Izrel niile.”
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bore [it] upon [my] shoulder in their sight.
Emere m ihe e nyere m nʼiwu. Ebupụtara m ngwongwo m nʼehihie, jikọta ha maka ịgba ọsọ ndụ. Nʼanyasị, eji m aka m gwuo ọnụ na mgbidi ahụ. Ebukwasịrị m ngwongwo m nʼubu, bulie ije nʼime ọchịchịrị mgbe ha nọ na-ele m anya.
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What doest thou?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ bụ na ụlọ Izrel ndị nnupu isi ahụ ajụbeghị gị, ‘o lee ihe ị na-eme?’
10 Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that [are] among them.
“Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Amụma a bụ maka onyeisi nọ na Jerusalem, nʼụlọ Izrel niile nọkwa ebe ahụ.’
11 Say, I [am] your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall remove [and] go into captivity.
Sị ha, ‘Mụ onwe m bụ ihe ama nye unu.’ “Dịka m mere, otu a kwa ka a ga-eme nye ha. Ha ga-aga na mba ọzọ biri ka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
12 And the prince that [is] among them shall bear upon [his] shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with [his] eyes.
“Nwa eze nke nọ nʼetiti ha ga-amaburu ibu ya nʼubu pụọ nʼọchịchịrị, ọ ga-egwupụ mgbidi aja nke obodo site nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ọ ga-ekpuchikwa ihu ya ka ọ ghara iji anya ya hụ obodo ahụ.
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans, yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Ma aga m eji ụgbụ m jide ya, meekwa ka ọ bịaruo Babilọn bụ ala ndị Kaldịa. Ebe ahụ ka ọ ga-anọ nwụọ, ma ọ gaghị ahụ ya anya.
14 And I will scatter towards every wind all that [are] about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu na ndị agha ya niile ka m ga-achụsa nʼala niile, ọ bụkwa mma agha ka m ga-amịpụta jiri chụọ ha ọsọ.
15 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
“Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m chụsachara ha nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, fesaakwa ha nʼala niile.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Ma ọ bụ mmadụ ole na ole nʼime ha ka m ga-edebe ndụ site na mma agha, na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe. Ka ha nwee ike kọọ akụkọ ihe arụ niile ha nʼetiti mba dị iche iche ebe ha gbagara ọsọ. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with solicitude.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, tụọ egwu mgbe ị na-eri nri gị. Jirikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụpụta mmiri ọṅụṅụ gị, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ihe ikpeazụ i nwere.
19 And say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with solicitude, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
Ị ga-asịkwa ndị bi nʼala ahụ, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere ndị bi na Jerusalem, nʼala nke Izrel, sị, Ha ga-eji ụjọ rie achịcha ha, jirikwa obi ịlọ mmiri ṅụọ mmiri ha, nʼihi na a ga-ekpochapụ ihe niile dị nʼala ha, nʼihi ihe ike nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Obodo niile nke ndị mmadụ bi nʼime ya ga-ala nʼiyi, otu aka ahụ, ala unu niile ga-abụ ebe tọgbọrọ na nkịtị. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
21 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, kedụ ihe ilu a na-atụ nʼIzrel pụtara, nke na-asị ‘Ụbọchị adịla oke anya, ọhụ niile abụrụkwala ihe na-enweghị isi?’
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Aga m eme ka ilu a kwụsị, ha agaghị atụkwa ya dịka ilu nʼIzrel ọzọ.’ Kama gwa ha, ‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ adịla nso mgbe ọhụ niile ga-emezu.
24 For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Nʼihi na agaghị enwekwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ ịjụ ase ire ụtọ nʼetiti ụlọ Izrel.
25 For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu ihe m zubere. Ihe ọbụla m kwuru ga-emezu na-atụfughị oge. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoge unu dị ndụ, unu ndị nnupu isi, ka m ga-emezu ihe ọbụla bụ nke m kwuru. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
27 Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of the times [that are] distant.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, lee, ụlọ nke Izrel na-asị, ‘Ọhụ niile ọ na-ahụ bụ maka ọtụtụ afọ dị nʼihu, amụma ya bụkwa maka oge na-abịa nʼihu.’
28 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
“Nʼihi ya, gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ọ dịghịkwa okwu m nke a ga-atụfu oge ọzọ nʼime ya, ihe ọbụla m kwuru ka a ga-emezu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
